Academic Statement

Within this field, Tamara’s research focuses on the study of the relationships between textual representations and visual representations of death in the Paraguayan War (1865-1870), and the way in which war itself specifically traces an impression onto these representations. This requires an interdisciplinary approach that draws not only upon literary and pictorial sources but also upon history, politics, visual culture and aesthetics.

She is interested in studying the way in which the Paraguayan War not only was the object of multiple visual and textual representations but also how these representations interact with each other in their own specific conceptual and material nature, as well as how war itself shapes and structures these representations and interactions.
